(as well as being the first little-endian recursive acronym I've seen)


It's now the best generic Sugar Live ISO there is, beating the previous champion Fedora SOAS:
Among other things,
- It works on 32-bit machines
* It has lots of Activities

  a login prompt at which one has to guess that the username is trisquel
* it is missing the firmware to make some wireless chips work (Intel 3945, maybe others)
  and the password is [Enter]. Autologin would be better.

- The alsa "Headphone" control is muted, so no sound comes out of
  external speakers. "alsactl init" fixes this but also halves the main
  audio volume, while "amixer set Headphone unmute" makes it work.
  That leaves the Headphone volume at 0 but some sound still comes out
  of the headphone socket.<BR>Hot fix:
  ```CTRL-ALT-F2 trisquel [Enter] [Enter] alsactl init [Enter] CTRL-ALT-F7```


I guess I'm lucky to use an ancient laptop with a crummy video chip and

==Live CD persistence==
===Live CD persistence===
You can achieve user data persistence by loading TOAST from a handy USB drive, but you can also use a regular Live CD for that, and it will work in systems with no USB-boot capabilities. You just need to pass the "persistent" parameter to the Live CD kernel (pressing F4 in the boot menu) and have a ext2 (ext3 and 4 will work too) partition labeled "live-rw" available in any disk. It can be a USB flash drive too.

Line 79: Line 59:
Using a USB SD card reader you should be able to use the usb-creator tool to load the live image into a SD card. That will allow you to boot the persistent live system in a XO or netbook, or install TOAST in its hard drive. It should also work with other card formats, as long as the computer is able to boot from them.
